Mr.G.B.Northrup presented a plan marked "Plan of Land in Lexington, Massa- chusetts, Scale l" 0 4', September 1946 G.B.Northrup, C.E., Belmont, Massachusetts." The property lies on the Burlington line westerly of Adams Street and northerly of North Street. The Board had considereds, plan on May 14,1946 and bad suggested certain changes. The Board concluded that the new plan incorporated the changes previously suggested and approved the new plan. The Board examined a tentative plan of subdivision of land on the northerly side of East Street opposite Grant Street and westerly of Vine Brook. Formal approval of the plan was not requested. The Board gave tentative approval of five lots on East Street and of the road entering the property from East Street. There is a complication in the layout because of the Vine Brook easement. In order to ' provide proper area for certain lots it would be necessary to extend the backs of certain lots 25 feet into the area subject to the easement. The Board expressed the tentative opinion that this was proper but suggested that the existence of the easement might detract from the value of the land. The Board suggested that a turn -around would be desirable at the end of the street running into the Burnham property on the theory that the latter might not be developed for a considerable period. The property is owned by P,ffr.John Craig. The engineer, also present, was Mr.Fred Joyce. Charles G.Richards Mr.Richards had submitted Fbrm A, petitioning for a zoning change on Grant street to maintain a repair shop. The form was incorrectly made out and it was de- cided to forward him a blank form with instructions for revision. Respect 917 submit ed Richard P.Zmwell Clerk n
